Dr. Davis was Professor of Hebrew and Cognate Languages (1888), Professor of Semitic Philology and Old Testament History (1892), and Helena Professor of Oriental and Old Testament Literature (1900) at Princeton Theological Seminary. He graduated from Princeton College in 1879 with highest academic honors and afterwards studied at the University of Bonn in Germany. He then copleted his theological studies at Princeton Seminary in two years (winning the George S. Green Fellowship in Hebrew) and taught Hebrew at the seminary for a year. He did further study at the University of Leipzig, where he concentrated on the new field of Assyriology. In 1886 he returned to teach at Princeton Seminary. He was awarded his doctorate from the College of New Jersey primarily on the basis of his graduate work in Leipzig. Dr. Davis was a gifted language teacher. In 1888 Davis was appointed professor of hebrew and cognate languages, and four years later, when his teaching responsibilities had expanded, he became professor of Semitic philology and Old Testament history.
